    Hi @julicorn thanks for continuing to record the challenge for us all, it's amazing to see we're nearly half a million in - that's incredible! No 39 here, please could you add £616 for august for me, bringing the total to £3905 for this year I think.
     Debt = £8017/£8017 (100% paid - cleared 26th August 2020) Boiler Fund = £2500/£2500 (100% saved - 26th August 2021)Emergency fund = £5000/£5000 (100% saved - 5th Jan 2025) | MFW Goal 2025: £6429/£3000 | Mortgage  = £86,468/£132,469 (35% paid)

    Goal for 2026:
    1) MFW £5473/£3600 - achieved!!
